This is a fairly fast but intriguing read …especially in an e-book format like Kindle. “Inconspicuous” in its Kindle version has become a popular option. But the story is compelling all on its own. Be sure to go to https://www.amazon.com/Inconspicuous-Walter-Rothwells-Undercover-Journey/dp/0996417923/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469039897&sr=8-1&keywords=wes+choc https://www.amazon.com/Inconspicuous-Walter-Rothwells-Undercover-Journey/dp/0996417923/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469039897&sr=8-1&keywords=wes+choc for more information.

Wally Rothwell was certainly an under-appreciated and practically unknown espionage agent … and yet he ended up being a quite consequential in the history books. There are no other biographies of this interesting Cold War player. Find out why.

Now that Tucson hosts the 3rd largest book festival in the country, it has become quite an event to see …to wander around …and to participate in for tens upon tens of thousands of folks from all over.

Sunday afternoon (March 12th), I was able to gain a spot in the Nonfiction Author’s pavilion. Be sure to stop by and say hello if you’re in the area. Most of all, come visit the festival and take it all in. t’s time well spent.

If you know someone who’s served in the military, there are many ways to thank or acknowledge their service. Books are often a good digression into past memories for veterans. Some books are harsh war stories, others are introspections, yet others reflect unusual “takes” on consequential events that we might not read about in history class.

I apologize to all my loyal readers and posters for this site being down for over a week as we completed a transfer to a new host. I appreciate your understanding and continued loyalty. And, thanks for your considerations as well.

In case you may have missed it, in February, I participated in an in-depth interview by Mercedes Fox. You can review the entire interview and read about the details of writing and composition here …be sure to let me know what you think.

This is a recording of the live interview on KGUN Channel 9 TV (Tucson) about the release of the Second Edition of Wes Choc’s book “Just Dust – An Improbable Marine’s Vietnam Story” that was published in December 2015. While the Second Edition incorporates a few important corrections, the most interesting addition is the new Forward contributed by businessman, David P. Reinhardt.

Then … leave a comment here on this website, or click here to go to Amazon.com to buy the book.

The second edition of “Just Dust” is now out! In this edition is an inspiring new Forward written by David Reinhardt. His remarks have been particularly poignant inasmuch as he was able to capsulize the story in a few special words. For example, in his original communication with the author, Wes Choc, he compares Wes’s journey during Vietnam as being just like what Forrest Gump would have experienced … “but Forrest Gump was fiction!”

To quote David Reinhardt, “When you finish reading, you’ll find yourself wondering which is more improbable: Wes Surviving the Marines, or the Marines surviving Wes.”

Find out why this was an improbable adventure for Wes Choc … and how nonfiction is often more intriguing than fiction.
